[Typo3-dev] TYPO3 and PKI authentication

Hi,

yes, for a institute at an university I have to do this.
There is an upcoming central PKI structure.

At the moment I'm working with a certificate in my browser (also possible).

The most work therefore has to be done by Apache itself.
The ssl module has to check the chain and export the informations of the 
certificate as environment variables. If the ssl module tells you that 
all is ok, you can do give typo3 an OK.
